So I decided to plant the hardy fuchsias but have a funny story. I'm just about done and I'm raking the compost I used as mulch... and I'm listening to Ciscoe's podcast on KOMO and one of the questions is about hardy fuchsias! He supported planting now and says his bloom even after thanksgiving. But... I wish I had heard his podcast just 30 minutes prior as he recommended planting them 4 inched deeper than what it was at in the pot. Oh well.... I figure with the compost now and some more mulch when it gets cooler I'll be close to the 4 inches anyway.
